4.93 million tonnes at sea on 174 ships in GrainFlow week 37 (7–13 SEP), down 16.8% on the week; 61% of it is bound beyond Suez, so it needs the Red Sea or the Cape. GrainFlow runs a week behind; the desk groups its declared destinations by the chokepoint each one needs.

The tenders those cargoes serve
The state buyers' tenders, with the gate a Black Sea cargo would need and what each C&F price implies for freight, are on the tender board. What a coaster or a supramax earns carrying them is on the freight page.
The grain afloat comes from GrainFlow through the desk's paid weekly subscription, typed in weekly and dated on each block; the regional grouping is the desk's own. Numbers bound 28 SEP 2026; the typed blocks were last edited 28 SEP 1930Z. The live board refreshes its feeds every half hour while open; this page is rewritten at every bind.
